To avoid duplication of requests (double click), I would be able to stop a running query. I do not see how. Can you help me please ?

let inProcess = false;

return Restangular.withConfig(function(RestangularConfigurer) {
    RestangularConfigurer

        ...

        .addFullRequestInterceptor(function(element, operation, what, url, headers) {

            if (inProcess) {
                // cancel the request here
                return;
            }

            inProcess = true;

        })

        ...
});

    Here's the way I've done it:

    let canceler = $q.defer()
Restangular.all('users').withHttpConfig({timeout: canceler.promise}).get()
canceler.resolve() // cancels the request

    This is a little counterintuitive, so let me explain. $http takes a timeout parameter (see the $http docs:

    timeout in milliseconds, or promise that should abort the request when resolved.

    Resolving the promise (canceler in this case), will cancel the request
